I Am Thankful; Really, I Am.

Well, a quick follow-up.  Boots came and with some real effort, I can get my feet into them.  I haven't decided to keep them because I haven't had a chance to use them as the weather has been crazy delightful.  This leads me to my topic:

I have been challenged by a wise woman to come up with 3 things I am thankful for each day for a week.  Man, am I in a funk because that is one tough challenge!  Here's what I have so far:

1. Dogs
2. Crazy delightful weather
3. My new car
4. Kristen
5. Terese
6. Theresa
7. Margaret
8. Friend-Chris
9. Joyce
10. My job
11. The ability to buy presents this year
12. Golda is now sitting on my lap
13. Blossom siiigghhs in contentment when I scratch her ears
14. Fine wine

OK.  Good so far.  But I did those in a sitting.  Here I am today and I can't come up with anything.  OK, I have a colleague in crime, who lets me be catty with her. It's a great stress-reliever.  I have insurance. (I have a cyst on my foot that needs to be surgically removed...yea!) I work with some pretty great attorneys whom I respect immensely and enjoy working with.  THERE!  I did it.  It's tough.  And it just shouldn't be.  I have to work on this. 

It's Winter and I Need Boots

I have been walking everyday. I'm trying to "waste away" but it ain't working as easily as I hoped. So for the last five months I have been walking at work and at home.  My dogs think it's AWESOME!

Now it's Winter or at least, bloody cold, and I need boots.  I have some old boots that have holes in them and frankly, smell. OK, it's a problem.  I need comfy, light-weight boots that will allow me to walk with ease while keeping my bare (no I don't wear sox, and you can't make me!) feet warm. I'm clomping on borrowed time.  My old ones drew blood yesterday -- really. 

So, so far, I have bought three pairs of boots and returned three pairs of boots.  They just don't fit.  Or my feet won't fit in the cuff of the boot.  I need laces or zippers. 

So I gave in and bought expensive (in my world) boots. REI had a deal and Mama loves a deal...have we talked about Groupon yet?  Oy vey!  I don't know how heavy they are since the deal was only on the internet, but today...I got the email.  My boots are being delivered and I'm counting on these being THE ONES. 

Can't wait!
